About

This documentary photograph by Jake Michaels captures an interior scene inside a traditional barbershop in Los Angeles. A barber dressed in a dark shirt stands behind a young customer seated in a barber chair wearing a vibrant red cape, holding clippers in his hand. To the left, another man in a plaid shirt smiles while leaning against a counter, while a fourth individual sits in a background chair in a blue tank top. The walls of the barbershop are densely covered with framed vintage posters, photographs, and mirrors reflecting the lively interior atmosphere. The ambient lighting highlights the warm tones of the vintage salon decor and the expressions of the subjects.
